If you could have any look, whose would it be?

Yes, yes and yes! The only correction is 250lb dumbbells and 2,300lb leg press!!View attachment 153501

Christ Bumstead

Amazing structure (obviously) and big enough for my taste

There's a picture of him with Platts where he is sporting the most wicked tricep I think I've ever seen.

Dexter Jackson.

Aside from being on the shorter side of things he looks phenomenal.

Rory Leidelmeyer

Amazing old school symmetry

Lee Haney, Charles Clairemont, Matt Mendenhall, Brian Buchanan

Short Bodybuilders: Eduardo Kawak, Phil Hill

Buchanan probably had one of the most aesthetically-pleasing structures ever but never had top tier legs.

Honestly, knowing my large white guy genetics. A mix of James Hollingshead and Gunter.
James is THICKER (barrel like myself) but Gunter had the aethetics i liked. Great V taper for a large white guy.
ARms and shoulders and then some. Always thought that was amazing looking.

By the way, i look nothing like James. He blows anything close to my physque out of the water.
Im just saying he has the white genetics of large chest/back...had to work hard to bring the arms up. I have/had the same problem

Shoot from Vision Quest.

That's a legendary shot. If I recall correctly, that was Tom's actual reaction

IMO Gunter was like Arnold 2.0. He had a similar structure to Arnold except he had full leg development and arms that were mostly in proportion with his chest & back. Of course Arnold was known for his chest & biceps and Gunter's chest was never too big for the rest of him but he also had a pretty damn good back (Arnold's back was never amazing IMO). I would say that Gunter had one of the more complete physiques for a tall bodybuilder. Everything was in proportion and nothing was really lacking when he was at his peak, which is quite an achievement considering how tall he is. How many guys his height are able to fill out both legs and arms at that level?

This guy. If you know him you know your bodybuilding!

Mr. Clairmonte would be sick as well.

 

[Skins]

Ok ... I have to bring this up.
I LOVE Günter Schlierkamp!
His composition is (my opinion) far better than Ronnie. Size. Composition. Aesthetics. Look. Health.

As someone mentioned: Arnold 2.0.
absolutely

 

[USMuscle9403]

Gunter was the fuckin man! Who else filled out a tall physique like that? I'd always drawn the comparison to Arnold, too, except with legs. Apparently a tremendously nice guy, too. I thought he would have done much better in bodybuilding, but it seems he found his niche with acting

When I was younger and into body building - it was Lee Priest

Now that I’m older and with having to readjust goals and expectations - it’s probably something along the lines of Dwayne Johnson (the Rock)

a downsized Phil Heath look is pretty decent for me
